In 2002 my brother Scott drank a dangerous amount of beer and decided to surf the Internet. In his travels he found this picture and sent it to me on MSN messenger. I asked him, "Who Are These Guys?"He replied, "I don't know."

So I asked, "Where did you find the picture?"He didn't reply. He'd passed out. When he woke up the next morning he'd forgotten where he'd found the picture. In my haste, I'd changed the original file name of the picture, making it impossible to search.

Thus began our international manhunt.

1. If you know who these guys are or have any theories, please run to your computer as fast as possible and log onto the Internet and and post an electronic mail message to: whoaretheseguys@gmail.com

These guys are for hire. The wanted to be part of the big Irish music wave that spawned the likes of the Irish Rovers http://www.irishrovers.info/ . But they weren't Irish, they were gay, they were trailer park. http://www.trailerparkboys.com/1024/horiz06.jpg So they became Gay Trailer Park Chippendale dancers.

You would not recognize them out of uniform, but, these guys are the "BANANA SPLITS" come-on..someone has to remember their show...while you only saw 3 on the show, one was a stand-in, the other..(on the right, with two watches *hint*) was the time keeper. ttra-la-la.la.la.la.la..one banana-or where there 4 originals?

You guys are so funny...! These guys were one of the biggest Mexican groups back in the early 80's called Los Tigeres de Guadalupe. There were originally from Taos, NM in the United States, started making a small name for themselves and later moved to Mexico for the larger following. They eventually started solo groups of their own which were fairly successful... Too bad they're not around anymore, I'm sure they'd LOVE to see themselves as they were waaaaay back when.

HI KYLE,JUST WATCHED YOUR STORY ON IRELAND AM AMAZING!! WELL DONE. MUCH HAPPINESS TO YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND IN YOUR SWOPPED HOME.THE PHOTO OF THE GUYS, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING SOME LEADS AS IT IS PRETTY UNIQUE. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR QUEST.KEEP US POSTEDLOVE AND LIGHTTHERESA

Please stop insulting the Bay City Rollers!! If they were the BCR's then where is Derek? My love, my blonde drummer boy? I had a pet stick named "derek". I couldn't afford a pet rock. I was their biggest fan when I was in 5th Grade. BCR ROCK!!

I don't know these guys. However I would sure like to shake their hand for a stache well done! One should honour and respect those with the inspiraton, patience, fine motor skills and confidence to produce and maintain these quality upper lips. It takes a real man, with real testosterone to sport this look. Burt, Goose, Fu, Seth, Kyle at homecoming all impress with a mustache. We should find and celebrate these modern day heros. Those who have the courage to challenge the status quo keep the lemmings from the cliff. The time is now. :~()

I agree with Chelsa. These guys look an awful lot like menudo -- the original 70s version of that group. Do a side by side comparison. You can match each member with each of the "guys" in your picture.

zThey were an "Art" rock group from around '81. They were known in this universe as Schlocky Dennise. The signatue concert feature was a tripple keytar solo which lasted an average of one hour per show. Amazing.

-Italian-Related-1970's "costumes" Guess is early to mid 1980's photo because of wire framed glasses, combined with long 1970's hair unless -three in back with possible wigs?may whant to check with optometrist for glasses model /date-center pictured "stud" is likely the future groom, older "father on left may have since died of old age (sadly) however the 3 brothers & best man (center blue night coat) are still likely to be aliveT-shirt in back may say "Ready for Action" - English wording - USA or Canada-Italian community websites would be a good place to post as well as FAXES to every deli in North american large cities-blue screen background suggests professional photographers screen, may be from a wedding stag party, may want to send out to every registered photographer operating in the 1970's-"ready for action" guy rear left may have painted on mustache? & "pops" front left may have fake mustache?-family may be shocked that the "boys" never did go fishing all those long weekends together (just joking)-If this is a stag photo from the early 80's the wedding was likely quite large with many members of the extended family and communityso a posting on every church bulletin board in Montreal & Toronto & other Canadian capital cities May help obtain leads-necklases on uncle vido (far right) may be a prop but one may be a skull?-no "red eye" so light not likely a flash but rather pro photgraphers light (water mark) on back of photo?-likely from large family with grandchildren who frequent the web so posting on italian youth soccer sites may develope a lead?- likely still drink heavily so posting at wine making supply stores may produce a lead?-now elderly so posting at italian seniors lodges may produce a lead within the next 10 years

At least I know they're not french. I hope. Let us pray... And for that matter, are you sure they're human? Let us pray not.Please, everyone, one minute of silence so that we can watch the human sanity grade go down. Thank you all.

I've found....these guys are the band "Who Are These Guys" A Rock & Roll Band playing new music with that classic rock sound. Influences include Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Creedence, The Dead,The Allmans Bros & The Band, among others.

This is a Mexican band from the 80s called Señalados. Apparently they had a huge hit called "Me pertaneces" which translates into "I Belong". From the band's picture - I'm not sure where they'd belong???

You can find another picture of the band and the lyrics to Me pertaneces here:

oh my god oh my god you are my idol you are so bad my idol! you traded a red paper clip for a house omg omg omg ur my idol! holy... you are the ultimate guy. that was the best idea ever and if I knew who those guys were I would tell you. I saw you on the news show, "news to me", as many others probably did, and you are my idol. you would actually trade the house you got for a red paperclip, for knowing who those guys were... you own omg ur my idol

These are impersonators or members of the Brady Bunch - Greg(front center), Peter(behind Greg), Cindy (back left in red), Jan or Bobby in front of her. Possibly Denny Terrio on the far right in blue shirt. It looks like a disco/aerobic spoof.

I would like to help you search for who these guys are. I searched for 1980 italian / mexican pop bands / music groups, I looked for a few hours. I saw this air on I-news or whatever, Do you have the original email ? Did you try contacting the first address in the email ? Google the original file name of the picture in the email. Does the email give any hints to who these guys are or what they do, any clues? Could be a 1980's italian tv comedy group. Let me know something.

I'm not sure if these guys are American. They might be from Australia or New Zealand or perhaps Canada. There definatly a band or group of some type. Damnit dude find out who the f these guys are cause they look like a ton of fun. haha

Nice try. This photo was pretty famous in the early '80, after the big FBI bust in Miami. These guys were the ring leaders of the Cocaine Cowboys. They look like nice guys in this group shot, but they were the most ruthless drug cartel in Miami at the time. This famous photo was shot in better times for these gents as they are all either dead or doing life. All except for Jorge "Rivi" Alaya (center bottom), who was hitman turned witness. Alaya was put into witness protection in '82. Most likely he will have to be moved due to you bringing the photo to the attention of the media again . . .

I've had an archie comic from the 1980's in my bathroom for the last 6 mos. I swear these dudes were in an ad on the inside back cover.(a younger version) Upon reading this paper-clip article and who are these guys thing i ran to my bathroom to see if its still there but alas i guess it got tossed in the garbage recently. I believe the ad said they were the mundo or mendicino bros, a mexican pop band, or i automatically think of wrestlers too, not sure but maybe this will get you looking in direction you may not have thought about:PGood Luck with the search and thanks for the interesting read!
